It will be no way as fast as a turbo car!!
It will give more of a kick but not like having a turbo.

The B230 and B230F are the same The B230FT is a turbo engine.

About the pics is there any way you can make them smaller? All I can see is the top of the car.

The car looks GREAT!!!

Can I suggest a couple of things?

I would find a Turbo Grill and install.
I would also drop it down a little and try to find a little wider rims and tires.

Don't get me wrong it looks good.

If you really want to go nuts I beleive you can buy 960 door handles and have them painted to match your paint.
I know they fit on a 740 so they should fit a 940.

You can buy lowering springs for your car.

Here is a link to a E-bay auction for a turbo grill.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-...spagenameZWDVW

Look around for some different styles of rims But somewhat hard to find for the 740,940 But they can be found. I would say 17's

That grill should fit no problem.

Check in the General section and you should find Plenty of sites in the links to sites post.

You can find all your prices and everything.

Also here is a pic of my Buddy's wagon with 17's on it and lowered

oh ok, that looks cool, so i should buy 17' rims? also i looked through all the sites you posted, and i couldnt find a lowering kit, i also hope that when i get to change the tires i find cool rims like those ones, so 17' rims? but i dont think i want to lower it, because i like it at that height, but the rims is a good idea, because the tires look WAY too small for the car

What ever you want it is your car.
Only you can decide exactly how you like it.

http://www.eurosporttuning.ca/Mercha...Code=VL-940-su

These are from 2 of those sites in the posts for lowering springs

Not sure about the rims I will try to find info.

i dont think that i would be lowering the volvo, because i like the height that it has, the thing that im really interested in is the rims, and i couldnt find the door handles


also, im very interested in finding the gear shift ****, the entire thing, and i dont want to buy it in the volvo because they are charging me 250 dollars! any of you know of a junkyard or something that has them?

The Door handles might only be the Dealer. Expensive though.

Still working on sites for rims.

If it is a U.S. car than it is in miles.
Is the miles or KM on the outside of the speedo?
Km will usually be on the outside.

For the ABS you might want to clean the front sensors.

If you had Nivomats and changed them and didn't change the springs they will wear out fast and the car will sag.

You activate the ABS by slamming on the Brakes while on dirt or sand or going over 45MPH.

They came on many of the cars. The only way to know for sure would be to have the #'s off the old ones.
